Well now its not so good as it used to be. Mum's 85 and somewhat demented by the torture of everyday life. I wish to alleviate the grinding chores of mere existence into which she sinks at her peril, she hates to waste my time on such boring things as hygiene or nutrition. I write simply, letters containing no more than two ideas because phone conversations become fraught. She doesn't reply to these but enjoys messenger situations and our outings to new places and shops where she can make acquaintances. Dad's grave is a place where I sometimes put 2+2 together ; we give Mum red roses because he did.Its hard to touch her gently enough, she's full of pain; hard not to wrinkle my nose or look aghast at the mess; easy to lose my patience in the tedious details so important to her; hell being exasperated when thwarted in trying to lift her out of her mental quagmires.
